Speaker 1: He's got a new documentary out on stand and I
Speaker 1: mean it's a it's something you don't hear you don't
Speaker 1: hear this story very often, so we'll ask him all
Speaker 1: about it. He's joining us next at the Pickup around Australia.
Speaker 1: It's the pick Up via Monday Afternoon right around the country.
Speaker 1: Here at Kiss with Britt, Laura and Mitch. She got
Speaker 1: Blackmore's executive beat Stress Formulas two fifties available now at
Speaker 1: Chemist Warehouse for just forty seven ninety nine. Always read
Speaker 1: the label and follow the directions for use.
Speaker 3: We're doing something.
Speaker 2: A little bit different this time, guys. Now, you guys
Speaker 2: might know something about me. I used to in my
Speaker 2: younger years, was an avid surfer and I used to
Speaker 2: travel all around the world surfing. I had some really
Speaker 2: close encounters with sharks in my time. I had to
Speaker 2: get out in Tasmania of a surf colmp because there
Speaker 2: was a huge great white there. I've had some pretty
Speaker 2: close calls. But there's a new documentary out that has
Speaker 2: got me just on the edge of my seat. It's
Speaker 2: called Attacking Life, and it's a documentary about Brett Connellan
Speaker 2: who survived a shark attack. And we have him on
Speaker 2: the line right now. Brett, Hi, Welcome to the show.
Speaker 1: Brett.
Speaker 4: Hey, guys, thanks for having me nice to be here.
Speaker 1: Where do we start?
Speaker 2: What made you? What made you want to put this story,
Speaker 2: this crazy story into a documentary.
Speaker 4: I had a lot of people tell me to write
Speaker 4: a book, and I thought I'd do something a little
Speaker 4: bit different. And I've always been interested in films, So
Speaker 4: the documentary made a lot of sense to me, telling
Speaker 4: it the way that I wanted to be told, but
Speaker 4: then also having something that's valuable, because I think if
Speaker 4: I told it to rite at the start and it
Speaker 4: started to just be about the attack.
Speaker 3: Brett, you were only twenty three when this happened, so
Speaker 3: it was seven years ago that you were attacked by
Speaker 3: a shark. Can you tell us what happened on that day?
Speaker 4: It was a regular day for me. I went for
Speaker 4: a surf that afternoon, just to wash off the day
Speaker 4: that I'd had at work, and I was just working
Speaker 4: with one of my good friends, Joel, and that's really
Speaker 4: where it all changed. So I was just sitting out
Speaker 4: the back waiting for the next set. I was just
Speaker 4: sitting there admiring sunset when it all happened, and it
Speaker 4: hit me from the right side with immense force, threw
Speaker 4: me off my board and before I could even figure
Speaker 4: out what had happened. I looked down as a shark
Speaker 4: biting my leg and that's that moment where you know
Speaker 4: what was probably only five seconds probably of actually been
Speaker 4: bitten by this shark, but for me, it felt like
Speaker 4: five minutes. And it's such a You have all those
Speaker 4: those imprints from that moment because you're taking sunlight information,
Speaker 4: things like you know the feel of the shark's skin,
Speaker 4: the lack of sound, the look in its eyes that
Speaker 4: stick with me. I mean again, I was as unlucky
Speaker 4: as you can be in that moment, incredibly lucky, lucky
Speaker 4: to have Joel actually surfing with me that afternoon. He
Speaker 4: heard my screens for help and decided to paddle towards
Speaker 4: the danger. I'm not something that you know is going
Speaker 4: to be the response until you confronted with that saved
Speaker 4: my life that afternoon.
Speaker 2: I mean, I lost a friend a few years ago,
Speaker 2: now many years ago. He was my abor and a friend.
Speaker 2: He was actually eaten by a shark on these coast
Speaker 2: of Australia as well. Did you you know this saying
Speaker 2: that the shark that's going to attack you you don't
Speaker 2: see like because if they've let you see them they're
Speaker 2: more inquisitive and they're cruising around and they say, either
Speaker 2: shark that actually wants to attack you comes from underneath
Speaker 2: and you don't see it. So did you not even
Speaker 2: clock that there was a shark out there that day?
Speaker 5: Yeah?
Speaker 4: You know, I think a lot of people have the
Speaker 4: you know, the jaws recount of what a shark attack
Speaker 4: should be like and you see the fin approaching you
Speaker 4: through the water, and it's not like that at all.
Speaker 4: One thing that I've gained from my experience is a
Speaker 4: lot of respect for sharks and just how good they
Speaker 4: are at what they do. And I know that's a
Speaker 4: strange way to gain that respect, but that's something that
Speaker 4: we really hope to include a movie as well.
Speaker 3: Rat What sort of injuries did you get from this?
Speaker 5: So?
Speaker 4: I lost three quarters of my left cord muscle, the
Speaker 4: biggest muscle in our body. It's one that's responsible for
Speaker 4: straightening our legout as we moved forward. So for me,
Speaker 4: losing that large chunk of muscle is going to cause
Speaker 4: significant challenges in order to just walk again, to be active,
Speaker 4: and then to obviously get back in the water and
Speaker 4: surf again. And that was the motivator trying to prove
Speaker 4: the doctor's wrong. And to be able to have the
Speaker 4: leg in the first place and not having it amputated
Speaker 4: is one thing. To be able to survive is another thing.
Speaker 4: But to be where I am today and have a
Speaker 4: fully functioning leg, it takes a lot of work to
Speaker 4: go into that.
Speaker 1: All right, Well, if you want to get that documentary, guys,
Speaker 1: it's available now on stan Attacking Life. A very interesting
Speaker 1: story that not many live to be able to tell.
Speaker 1: So Brett canell and thanks for coming on the pick up.
Speaker 1: Thanks Brett, thanks for having me stand by next the
Speaker 1: ninety fifth Annual Oscars going down in Los Angeles. We've
Speaker 1: got all the goss, all the glits, all the glimmer
Speaker 1: and we'll unpack it on the pick up next Monday.
Speaker 1: On the pick up, this is kiss right around Australia. Britt,
Speaker 1: Laura and Mitch here thanks to chemists warehouse, great savings
Speaker 1: every day. Now listen, guys, it's Oscar's day. What a day.
Speaker 3: I feel like everybody here was hooked to the TV
Speaker 3: and in the what do you call that the office?
Speaker 1: Everyone?
Speaker 3: I guess he's not getting an Oscar.
Speaker 1: Laura, but all those things that people are sitting on
Speaker 1: Jess were.
Speaker 3: In the office. Everyone was like, oh, hanging around the
Speaker 3: TV not doing any work, watching the Oscar.
Speaker 2: Because the Oscars is a big event, and it's the
Speaker 2: first year post the slap Gate.
Speaker 1: It is celebrating all the big moments in cinema. Slapgate
Speaker 1: was last year was Smith fifth and Quith Rock and
Speaker 1: with a really upsetting moment for so many Fifth Now.
Speaker 2: Well, it's an upsetting moment here is today for some
Speaker 2: of us. Not Mitch or I spoiler, but Laura Burn's
Speaker 2: upset that it was meant. Jimmy Kimore mentioned it in
Speaker 2: his feet.
Speaker 3: No, I'm not upset. So Jimmy Kimmel, he hosted the
Speaker 3: Oscars this year, did a brilliant job. I just think
Speaker 3: that they could have gotten through the whole thing, through
Speaker 3: the whole awards ceremony and not mentioned Slapgate. I feel
Speaker 3: like we've done it, We've spoken about it, and I
Speaker 3: just think it was the low hanging fruit of comedy.
Speaker 3: This is what he had to say about it.
Speaker 5: If anyone in this theater commits an act of violence
Speaker 5: at any point during the show, you will be awarded
Speaker 5: the Oscar for Best Actor and permitted to give a
Speaker 5: nineteen minute long speech now, But seriously, the Academy has
Speaker 5: a crisis team in place. If anything unpredictable or violent
Speaker 5: happens during the ceremony, just do what you did last year. Nothing.
Speaker 3: I disagree.
Speaker 2: I think it would be a travesty to have let
Speaker 2: this one slid on by. I think it had to
Speaker 2: be mentioned. There had to be a nod the first
Speaker 2: big event, and it's the elephant in the room.
Speaker 1: Yes, it's like us doing the show and not talking
Speaker 1: about how horrific Britney's laugh is like, we have.
Speaker 3: To Heavens forbid we let that happen. Well, we almost
Speaker 3: got through an entire show without talking about it, and
Speaker 3: you slid it in.
Speaker 1: It was literally the biggest moment from last year they
Speaker 1: had to talk about slap gike.
Speaker 3: I think it was just a very easy joke to make.
Speaker 1: He should have come out in like boxing headgear, just
Speaker 1: like a head helmet, like a padded helmet. That would
Speaker 1: have been really fun.
Speaker 3: He's just on the whole entire show with two security
Speaker 3: guards standing on our head. Yes, you know.
Speaker 1: It's also a weird ceremony because Lady Gaga performed, and
Speaker 1: people are a bit confused online because we saw her
Speaker 1: on the red carpet, arrived to the double looking one
Speaker 1: million dollars gorgeous gown, and then she gets up to
Speaker 1: perform halfway through the show and she's in a T
Speaker 1: shirt and jeans from j J.
Speaker 2: No makeup because she was on the red carpet with
Speaker 2: like beautiful makeup, impeccable red lip, and then she had nothing.
Speaker 2: She took everything off, she stripped it back.
Speaker 1: She was just in a T shirt.
Speaker 2: I think it's a real power move because it's really like,
Speaker 2: I don't need a single thing because I'm that talented.
Speaker 2: My voice does it all for me.
Speaker 1: That's what I think.
Speaker 3: I agree with you, Britt. I think that like her
Speaker 3: presence on stage, she has the most incredible it's unbelievable
Speaker 3: her voice, and that she gets this standing ovation. But
Speaker 3: it was the most simple performance it was. I mean,
Speaker 3: it was a really beautiful and paired back. There was
Speaker 3: no lighting, there was no like fancy kind of distractions.
Speaker 3: It was just her and her singing, and it was
Speaker 3: something spectacular to watch.
Speaker 2: I might turn up to the next show if I
Speaker 2: ever get invited to un to stand a T shirt
Speaker 2: and see what happens. Maybe people talk about.
Speaker 1: Logi celebrate that. They're like, yeah, coming in. Never do
Speaker 1: wear anything on.
Speaker 3: Imagine rocked up to the logis in just a T
Speaker 3: shirt and no makeup. We'd never get invited back in it.
Speaker 1: No one knows who I am.
Speaker 3: That just because someone was escort me in soun's broken in.
Speaker 1: All right, listen next to the pickup, Laura, you've seen
Speaker 1: a TikTok that's really got you going.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Look, I want to know what is it that
Speaker 3: you've been lying to your kids about. Because there's a
Speaker 3: couple in the States and they've had to lie to
Speaker 3: their children to save themselves.
Speaker 2: I lie to my dog all the time.
Speaker 1: She's all I've got.
Speaker 2: I'm like, you're a good gear. She's not.
Speaker 1: Close as a guess. All right, that's next to the pickup.
Speaker 1: It's the pick up Monday afternoon here at Kiss Britt,
Speaker 1: Laura and matche tanks to Chemist Warehouse. Get Blackmore's Executive
Speaker 1: Beast Stress Formulas two fifties available now at Chemist Warehouse

Speaker 3: I have a question for you both. Do you remember
Speaker 3: back in the day when you were very little ever
Speaker 3: having in the conversation with your parents about the birds
Speaker 3: and the bees.
Speaker 1: I sure do. Unfortunately, Yeah, but you're.
Speaker 2: Into my retina and my memory.
Speaker 3: Okay, well I want to know how they approached this.
Speaker 3: But I came across a TikTok on the weekend of
Speaker 3: a beautiful family in the US. It is a mother
Speaker 3: and father who were doing something in the bedroom, some
Speaker 3: noise being made, and this poor little girl overheard have
Speaker 3: listened to this? Did you know it?
Speaker 4: My our door was closed.
Speaker 2: I'm so sorry like you, Oh no, I'm not hurt.
Speaker 4: I'm sorry that scared you. I thought you were so asleep.
Speaker 1: She thought she was hurt, so upset.
Speaker 3: How do you how do you answer this? What do
Speaker 3: you say you're doing? Mummy's not hurt, Mummy's okay. Mummy
Speaker 3: was just happy that dad.
Speaker 2: Was doing his job, wasn't he She was.
Speaker 3: Screaming about the lack of washing up or something. What
Speaker 3: do you what do you even say?
Speaker 2: It's funny, because what's the age that you have the
Speaker 2: actual conversation. Like I I was at my early days,
Speaker 2: I was the stalk used to come that's how so
Speaker 2: that's yeah.
Speaker 3: I was like the very cliche though, isn't it well.
Speaker 2: I imagine it was probably under the palm. I imagine
Speaker 2: I probably caught them out and I was like, it's
Speaker 2: a stalk.
Speaker 1: Was too practical. I'm like, but you still have always
Speaker 1: said I was a big baby, and how did the
Speaker 1: bird fly? And what sack was I? How did a carry?
Speaker 1: And the beak is so small?
Speaker 3: I feel, does anyone remember Dumbo? That's what happens at
Speaker 3: the beginning of Dumbo. It's very Dumbo where I mean,
Speaker 3: if they could carry an elephant, they can carry you.
Speaker 2: Mitch.
Speaker 3: Sure, that's probably why that works.
Speaker 1: The best party is that little girl in about seven
Speaker 1: eight nine years is going to be in the middle
Speaker 1: of class. It's just going to hit her. That's what
Speaker 1: her parents were doing.
Speaker 3: Then she's gonna be traumatized.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that one night that I thought the door was
Speaker 1: locked because they were wrestling.
Speaker 3: Well, the reason why I thought this was so cute
Speaker 3: because Marley, so she's three and a half now with
Speaker 3: my daughter, we have a friend who's pregnant at the moment,
Speaker 3: and so she's very interested. Anytime she sees a big belly,
Speaker 3: she's like, oh, is there a baby in there? But
Speaker 3: we're in the car the other day and she's in
Speaker 3: the seat behind me, and she goes, mom, how does
Speaker 3: the baby get in the belly?
Speaker 4: Oh?
Speaker 3: And I was like, and that's when we're going through
Speaker 3: a tunnel. Three and a half. Though, I was like, Okay,
Speaker 3: I want to be that family that's very open to
Speaker 3: having like a prop a conversation. I want to be
Speaker 3: the family that three and nine is too young. So
Speaker 3: I was like, when daddy and mummy love each other
Speaker 3: a lot, sometimes a baby appears. Now my child thinks
Speaker 3: that they just spontaneously pop into a belly.
Speaker 1: They just spawn out of nowhere.
Speaker 2: I'm just born from love, which isn't a lie. They are,
Speaker 2: I mean, sometimes they're we're from love, from love. Sometimes
Speaker 2: they are from.
Speaker 1: One night stare. When I was a kid, I asked
Speaker 1: my dad and he said, you were but a twinkle
Speaker 1: in my eye, And for years I thought that's where, Like,
Speaker 1: you know, you came from his eyeboni, I came from
Speaker 1: his retina.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Head to the pickup dot com dot au and tell
Speaker 1: us what did you lie to your kids about? For
Speaker 1: your chance to win a five hundred dollars chemist ware
Speaker 1: House gift card.
Speaker 2: Oh, I can't wait to hear these because they're always
Speaker 2: so funny.
Speaker 1: Always, and then you never expect them. You never expect
Speaker 1: these little lies to come out. Like you've got kids
Speaker 1: and the things you have to lie about on a
Speaker 1: daily basis.
Speaker 3: You always say you're not going to lie, you're not
Speaker 3: going to be that type of parent. But we're all
Speaker 3: that type of parent.
Speaker 1: You're all liars. Yeah, that's the moral of this story.

Speaker 1: of it. Head to the pick up, get some cash,
Speaker 1: and we will see you guys tomorrow. Right, Will and
Speaker 1: Wood your up next. I'll drive you home.
